So every app using it has all of #Electron’s disadvantages:
• lowest-common-denominator #GUI obviously foreign to the host OS
• non-portable shims to integrate with host OS features
• an individually bespoke runtime consuming storage, memory, and compute as if it were a separate virtual machine
@boo_@andros I didn’t foresee anyone turning Google’s #Chrome browser #JavaScript engine V8 (2008) into the server (#NodeJs, 2009) and desktop (#ElectronJs, 2013) runtimes that ate the world, but here we are.
And Electron was originally developed for #GitHub’s #Atom text editor (2008) before they were acquired by #Microsoft in 2018, subsequently discontinued in favor of #VSCode in 2022.
Don’t tell me what you can’t see happening if you don’t remember what already did
As I commented on the issues page for #AriaNg Native (an #ElectronJs frontend for the #aria2 download utility), Intel-only #Mac software “serves a dwindling niche of discontinued models and discontent professionals.” And unsigned #apps are “unusable for anyone who wants to maintain their Mac’s #security.”
Looking up "Drupal" and "Notion" and I'm finding how to integrate with the Notion API and I'm like you don't understand I didn't want to work with Notion I wanted to reimplement Notion.
It's okay the urge passed. Just one of those ADHD "I've got a brilliant idea" moments
